Stress Fracture of the Femoral Neck Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A stress fracture of the femoral neck after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is rare, with few reported cases in the English literature. We defined a stress fracture following TKA as a nontraumatic fracture developing in the femoral neck within six months of TKA. This retrospective case series highlights the predisposing factors, diagnostic challenges, and management of stress femoral neck fractures following TKA. In our series, the major risk factors for the fracture are an increase in the level of activity in osteoporotic bone after a period of relative immobility after TKA, steroid intake, and rheumatoid arthritis. Preoperative dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) screening may help in the early initiation of osteoporosis treatment as the majority of our cases come late in the knee arthritis stage and long after a period of relative inactivity. Timely diagnosis and management of a stress femur neck fracture in the early period may prevent fracture displacement, avascular necrosis, and nonunion.
